I have no way to get my lugs off and I had one wheel off the car, no way to get that on either.

Talk to this man. ^^^^^^^ He is the king of Tire and Wheel Shiznit. If he can't hook you up, let me know, I have a local guy that can find almost any of them as well.

Whats the brand name? Pic?

Problem #1 they are no name lugs that came with the wheels so I have no idea what brand.

Problem #2 my sony camera just died like 2 weeks ago, (Never buy a sony camera, i shelled out $350 for it and the piece of shit died just 1 month after the 1 year warranty ended)

I was supposed to go get my tires changed 2morro, im just gonna go to that tire shop and pray they have lugs with same key.

go back to the shop in which you bought your wheels/ tires. They should have the same key that they can sell you. I lost mine while doing my timing belt. Why, I don't know, don't ask

. I went back to the shop I bought my wheels from two years ago and they still had the same key. Good luck

hmmm .... might not be as big a problem as I thought it was, seems like they are widely carried generic spline tuner lugs.

And now that i've realized how common these tuner lugs are, I think i'll be upgrading...whats the point in having tuner lugs to protect your wheels if you can get the key from most performance shops.... time for some rays or something.

Ya really there are only 5 different common keys.

I had a key snap on me once. The guys that installed my old rims over-torqued my lug nuts so bad the key just split in half when I tried to take them off

I had my key split one as well. It was a gorella key or something like that...

I just popped online and ordered a new one.

Tire shop sold me one for $3.50

thats why i never quite understood wheel locks. they are easy to purchase, and anyone looking to steel a set of wheels are going to have a full set of them.

Those arent wheel locks they are called tuner lugs. They are smaller in diameter to fit the lug holes of tuner style wheels. Wheel locks have many different styles unless they are factory. I have a full set of factory VW keys that will remove any VW wheel lock.
